Steel Sheets

The perforated steel sheets have many uses, so they should be studied under the influence of the uniaxial tensile load. The presence of these holes in the steel sheets certainly affects the mechanical properties. This paper aims at studying the behavior of the stress-strain engineering relationships of the perforated steel sheets. To achieve this, the three-dimensional finite element (FE) model is mainly designed to investigate the effect of this condition. Experimental tests were carried out on solid specimens to be used in the test of model accuracy of the FE simulation. Simulation testing shows that the FE modeling revealed the ability to calculate the stress-strain engineering relationships of perforated steel sheets. It can be concluded that the effect of a perforated rhombus shape is greater than the others, and perforated square shape has no effect on the stress-strain engineering relationships. The efficiency of the perforated staggered or linearly distribution shapes with the actual net area on the applied loads has the opposite effect, as it reduces the load capacity for all types of perforated shapes. Despite the decrease in load capacity, it improves the properties of the steel sheets.

AbstractThe tensile force required to break bonds between ice grains after short contact times (1–500 s) is measured as a function of temperature and contact pressure. The results indicate a sharp increase of the tensile load capacity of bonds alter short contact times near the melting point and a maximum rate of increase of the load capacity at −5 °C.

ABSTRACTThe increasing use of polymeric reinforcements in concrete structures requires either the development of a new design theory or the adaptation of current designs considering the engineering properties of this type of materials. In this work a method for calculating the deflections of reinforced concrete elements is proposed, which can be used in predicting the flexural behavior of longitudinally reinforced concrete with PET strips in amounts up to 1%. The model theory assumes that concrete has a tensile load capacity different to zero, characterized by a uniaxial tensile stress-strain diagram. A series of tests were conducted to corroborate the validity of the suggested method, showing that the theory also correctly predicts the creep deformation post-cracking. The deflection results of reinforced concrete with recycled PET strips are presented. The tests are carried out by a simple beam with center-point loading, using three different amounts of reinforcement and comparing the experimental results with the theoretical results of the proposed model.

Element Approach

A finite element approach based on Ansys is developed to simulate stress intensity distribution in a three dimensional model of coupling clamp joint, which includes ferrules, pipe caps and bolts. The characteristics of stress intensity distributions of coupling clamp joint under strength pressure loading have been studied by means of the non-linear finite element method. The FE model can also predict the clamp quality and tolerances to be expected under different process conditions and define the most effective process parameters to influence the tolerances. The study could give us a better understanding on the mechanism and basis for optimization design of the coupling clamp joint.

This work focuses on the structural analysis of a damaged 9.13″ flexible pipe to pure and combined axisymmetric loads. A set of experimental tests was carried out considering one up to ten broken wires in the outer tensile armor of the pipe and the results obtained are compared to those provided by a previously presented finite element (FE) model and a traditional analytical model. In the experimental tests, the pipe was firstly subjected to pure tension and, then, the responses to clockwise and anti-clockwise torsion superimposed with tension were investigated. In these tests, the induced strains in the outer armor were measured. Moreover, the axial elongation of the pipe was monitored when the pipe is subjected to tension, whilst the twist of the pipe was measured when torsion is imposed. The experimental results pointed to a slight decrease in the stiffness of the pipe with the increasing number of broken wires and, furthermore, a redistribution of forces among the intact wires of the damaged layer with high stress concentration in the wires close to the damaged ones. Both theoretical models captured these features, but, while the results obtained with the FE model agreed well with the experimental measurements, the traditional analytical model presented non-conservative results. Finally, the results obtained are employed to estimate the load capacity of the pipe.

This paper is intended to present a study of elastic-damaged behaviour of symmetrical composite laminates with edge delamination cracks subjected to uniformly applied uniaxial tensile load. The response of composite laminates is investigated by a quasi-three-dimensional finite element analysis including the damage characterization of constituent plies. Of principal concern are the effects of edge delamination cracks as well as the influence of damage on stress distributions in graphite/epoxy [0/90°]s, [90/0°]s and [±45°], laminates. The computed results between the behaviours of laminates with stiffness damage consideration and those of geometrically similar laminates without stiffness damage are compared and the significance of damage in stress analysis of fibre-reinforced composite materials is elucidated.

Tensile experiments of three-dimensional needled C/C-SiC composite from room temperature to 1800℃ were performed to investigate tensile behavior. The damage characteristics and macroscopic mechanical behavior of the composite are relevant to the testing temperature and off-axis angles of the tensile loading. The tensile strength increased while the modulus decreased with the increase of temperature. A high-temperature nonlinear constitutive model was established to analyze the nonlinear stress–strain relationship of the composite. Plastic strain accumulation and stiffness degeneration were described by the plasticity and damage theories. The effect of temperature on the tensile behavior of the composite was particularly considered in this model by introducing a thermal damage variable. The proposed constitutive model can predict the stress–strain behavior of the material subjected to different off-axis tensile load, and at different temperatures. Fairly good agreement was achieved between the predicted and experimental results.

This paper presents a numerical based study on the undrained load capacity of a typical torpedo anchor embedded in a purely cohesive isotropic soil using a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model. In this model, the soil is simulated with solid elements capable of representing its nonlinear physical behavior as well as the large deformations involved. The torpedo anchor is also modeled with solid elements and its complex geometry is represented. Moreover, the anchor-soil interaction is addressed with contact finite elements that allow relative sliding with friction between the surfaces in contact. Various analyses are conducted in order to understand the response of this type of anchor when different soil undrained shear strengths, load directions as well as number and width of flukes are considered. The obtained results point to two different failure mechanisms: one that mobilizes a great amount of soil and is directly related to its lateral resistance; and a second one that mobilizes a small amount of soil and is related to the vertical resistance of the soil. Besides, the total contact area of the anchor seems to be an important parameter in the determination of its load capacity and, consequently, the increase of the undrained shear strength and the number of flukes and/or their width significantly increases the load capacity of the anchor.

Flexible Pipes

This paper deals with a nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) model capable of predicting the mechanical response of flexible pipes subjected to axisymmetric loads focusing on their axial compression response. Moreover, in order to validate this model, experimental tests carried out at COPPE/UFRJ are also described. In these tests, a typical 4″ flexible pipe was subjected to axial compression until its failure is reached. Radial and axial displacements were measured and compared to the model predictions. The good agreement between all obtained results points that the proposed FE model is efficient to estimate the response of flexible pipes to axial compression and, furthermore, has potential to be employed in the identification of the failure modes related to excessive axial compression as well as in the mechanical analysis of flexible pipes under other types of loads.

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing settings allow the existence of differently filled sections together within a piece. That means the use of inhomogeneous internal material structure. Knowing the load capacity that 3D printed plastic parts can withstand leads to the reduction of the filling degree, thus the amount of the used material in certain places. This approach has two advantages during production: (i) less material use and (ii) reduced manufacturing time, both being cost-reducing factors. The present research aims to find the optimal proportions for fabricating a bending test piece with varying filling degrees. To achieve this goal, experimental tests were performed for obtaining tensile strength and modulus of elasticity using different pairs of infill density and pattern. This provided a basis for creating a working mechanical model based on accurate and realistic material properties. Hence, a series of virtual bending test experiments were conducted on a sandwich structure specimen employing Ansys Workbench software. By doing so, the optimal thickness (of the sandwich’s inner layer) with the highest specific load capacity for the given filling patterns and densities were determined. To the best of our knowledge, the current procedure of experiments and method of settings optimization were not discussed elsewhere.
